Managing the video system’s certificatesCertificate validation may be required when using TLS (Transport Layer Security).

A server or client may require that your video system presents a valid certificate to them before communication can be set up.

The video system’s certificates are text files that verify the authenticity of the system. These certificates may be issued by a certificate authority (CA).

The certificates are listed as shown in the illustration to the right*. They can be used for the following services: HTTPS, SIP and IEEE 802.1X.

You can store several certificates on the system, but only one certificate can be used for each service at a time.

If authentication fails, the connection will not be established.

Enabling and disabling certificates

Use the buttons to switch a certificate on or off for the different services.

You can also view a certificate, and delete a certificate using the corresponding buttons.

Adding a certificate

1. Click Browse... and find the Certificate and Private key file(s) on your computer.

2. Fill in the Password if required.

3. Click Add certificate... to store the certificate on your system.

Navigate to: Configuration > Security: Certificates tab

* The certificates and certificate issuers shown in the illustration serve as examples. Your system may have other certificate(s).

Contact your system administrator to obtain the following file(s):

• Certificate (file format: .PEM)• Private key, either as a separate file or

included in the same file as the certificate (file format: .PEM format)

• Password (required only if the private key is encrypted)

The certificate and the private key will be stored in the same file on the video system.



Managing the list of trusted certificate authoritiesCertificate validation may be required when using TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Your video system may be set up to require that a server or client presents its certificate to the video system before communication can be set up.

The certificates are text files that verify the authenticity of the server or client. The certificates must be signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA).

To be able to verify the signature of the certificates, a list of trusted CAs must reside on the video system. The certificates of the CAs are listed as shown in the illustration to the right*.

The list must include all CAs needed in order to verify certificates for HTTPS, SIP and IEEE 802.1X connections.

If the server cannot be authenticated, the connection will not be established.

* The certificate and certificate issuers shown in the illustration serve as examples. Your system will have other certificate(s).

Contact your system administrator to obtain the CA certificate list (file format: .PEM).

Viewing and deleting certificates

You can view a certificate, and delete a certificate using the corresponding buttons.

Audit logging is disabled by default, but you can enable it using the Security > Audit > Logging > Mode setting.

In ExternalSecure audit logging mode the video system sends encrypted audit logs to an external audit server (syslog server), which identity must be verified by a signed certificate.

To be able to verify the signature of the audit server certificates, a list of trusted audit certificate authorities (CAs) must reside on the video system.

If the audit server cannot be authenticated, the logs will not be sent.

Always upload the audit certificate list before enabling secure audit logging.

1. Upload a list of audit server certificates

The entries in a new file with CA certificates will overwrite the existing list, so that any previously stored audit certificates will be lost when you add a new file.

i. Click Browse... and find the file containing the list of audit CA certificates (.PEM format) on your computer.

ii. Click Add audit certificate to store the certificate(s) on your video system.

Contact your system administrator to obtain the Audit CA list (file format: .PEM).



Managing pre-installed certificates for Edge provisioningThe list of pre-installed certificates that is shown on this page in the web interface*, contains certificates that will be used when the video system is provisioned by Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) via Expressway (Edge). Only Edge infrastructure certificates will be checked against this list.

If the Edge infrastructure certificate validation fails, the video system will not receive the provisioning and not be registered.

Factory resetting the video system will not delete the list of pre-installed certificates.

Navigate to: Configuration > Security: Preinstalled CAs tab

* The certificate and certificate issuers shown in the illustration serve as examples. Your system will have other certificate(s).

Viewing or disabling certificates

You can view a certificate, and disable a certificate using the corresponding buttons.

You can disable all the pre-installed certificates, and use a manually uploaded list of certificates for verification instead. See the Configuration > Security: CAs page how to upload trusted certificates to the video system manually.



Setting strong security mode

Read carefully about the consequences of strong security mode before you continue.

1. If you want to use strong security mode, click Enable strong security mode....

Confirm your choice in the dialog box that appears.

The system will restart automatically.

2. Change the password when you are prompted. The new password must meet

the strict criteria as described.

How to change the system password is described in the ► Setting passwords

section.

Return to normal mode

When in strong security mode, the system can be restored to normal mode by clicking

Disable strong security mode.... Confirm your choice in the dialog box that appears

The system will restart automatically.

Navigate to: Configuration > Security: Strong Security Mode tabSetting strong security modeStrong security mode should be used only when compliance with DoD JITC regulations is required.

Read the provided information carefully before setting strong security mode.

Strong security mode sets very strict password requirements, and requires all users to change their password on the next sign in.

Software upload from TMS, web snapshots and calling from the web interface are prohibited in strong security mode.



Changing the persistency modeBy default, all persistency settings are set to Persistent. This means that configurations, call history, internal logs, local phonebook / favorites list and IP connectivity information are stored as normal. A system restart does not delete information.

As a general rule, we recommend NOT to change the default settings for persistency. But in the case were a new user is not supposed to see or trace back to any kind of logged information from the previous session, Non-persistent mode must be used.

In order to clear/delete information that was stored before changing to Non-persistent mode, you should consider to factory reset the video system.

There is more information about performing a factory reset in the ► Factory resetting appendix.

When in Non-persistent mode, the following information will be lost/cleared each time the system restarts:

• System Configuration changes that have been made since the last system restart.

• Information about calls that are placed or received since the last system restart (call history).

• Internal log files that has been made since the last system restart.

• Changes that are made to the local phonebook / favorites list since the last system restart.

• All IP related information (DHCP) from the last session.

Checking the persistency status

The radio buttons that are active when you open the Security page and go to the Non-persistent Mode tab, shows the current persistency status of the video system.

You can also see the status by checking Security > Persistency on the Configuration > System Status page.

Changing the persistency settings

1. Set the persistency settings for the five categories as desired.

2. Click Save and reboot....

The system will restart. After the restart, behavior according to the new persistency settings will start.

Note that logs, configurations etc. that was stored before you switch to Non-persistent mode, will not be cleared or deleted.

Navigate to: Configuration > Security: Non-persistent Mode tab



Deleting trust lists (CUCM only)The information on this page is only relevant for video systems that are registered to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM).

The web interface can be used to delete existing trust lists (CTL and ITL) that are stored on the video system. Normally, you will not delete the old CTL and ITL files, but there are a few cases when you will need to delete them.

For more information about CUCM and trust lists, read the Administering TC Endpoints on CUCM guide available on the Cisco web site.

Navigate to: Configuration > Security: CUCM tab

If the H.323 Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication is required, the system will still try to register. Requires the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode to be enabled.



Example: H323 Profile 1 Authentication Password: ""

H323 Profile [1..1] CallSetup ModeThe H.323 Call Setup Mode defines whether to use a Gatekeeper or Direct calling when establishing H323 calls.NOTE: Direct H.323 calls can be made even though the H.323 Call Setup Mode is set to Gatekeeper.


Value space: <Direct/Gatekeeper>Direct: An IP address must be used when dialing in order to make the H323 call.Gatekeeper: The system will use a Gatekeeper to make a H.323 call. When selecting this option the H323 Profile Gatekeeper Address and H323 Profile Gatekeeper Discovery settings must also be configured.

Example: H323 Profile 1 CallSetup Mode: Gatekeeper

H323 Profile [1..1] Gatekeeper DiscoveryDetermine how the system shall register to a H.323 Gatekeeper.


Value space: <Manual/Auto>Manual: The system will use a specific Gatekeeper identified by the Gatekeeper's IP address.Auto: The system will automatically try to register to any available Gatekeeper. If a Gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specific Gatekeeper will be used. This requires that the Gatekeeper is in auto discovery mode as well. If no Gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a Gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and hence an IP address must be specified manually.

Example: H323 Profile 1 Gatekeeper Discovery: Manual

H323 Profile [1..1] Gatekeeper AddressEnter the IP address of the Gatekeeper. Requires the H.323 Call Setup Mode to be set to Gatekeeper and the Gatekeeper Discovery to be set to Manual.


Value space: <S: 0, 255>Format: A valid IPv4 address, IPv6 address or DNS name.

Example: H323 Profile 1 Gatekeeper Address: "192.0.2.0"

H323 Profile [1..1] H323Alias E164The H.323 Alias E.164 defines the address of the system, according to the numbering plan implemented in the H.323 Gatekeeper. The E.164 alias is equivalent to a telephone number, sometimes combined with access codes.


Value space: <S: 0, 30>Format: Compact string with a maximum of 30 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, * and #.

Example: H323 Profile 1 H323Alias E164: "90550092"

H323 Profile [1..1] H323Alias IDLets you specify the H.323 Alias ID which is used to address the system on a H.323 Gatekeeper and will be displayed in the call lists. Example: "[email protected]", "My H.323 Alias ID"



Example: H323 Profile 1 H323Alias ID: "[email protected]"



H323 Profile [1..1] PortAllocationThe H.323 Port Allocation setting affects the H.245 port numbers used for H.323 call signalling.


Value space: <Dynamic/Static>Dynamic: The system will allocate which ports to use when opening a TCP connection. The reason for doing this is to avoid using the same ports for subsequent calls, as some firewalls consider this as a sign of attack. When Dynamic is selected, the H.323 ports used are from 11000 to 20999. Once 20999 is reached they restart again at 11000. For RTP and RTCP media data, the system is using UDP ports in the range 2326 to 2487. Each media channel is using two adjacent ports, ie 2330 and 2331 for RTP and RTCP respectively. The ports are automatically selected by the system within the given range. Firewall administrators should not try to deduce which ports are used when, as the allocation schema within the mentioned range may change without any further notice.Static: When set to Static the ports are given within a static predefined range [5555-6555].

Example: H323 Profile 1 PortAllocation: Dynamic

Video Input Connector [1..5] OptimalDefinition ProfileThis setting will only take effect when the Video Input Source Quality setting is set to Motion. The optimal definition profile reflects the lighting conditions in the video conferencing room and the quality of the camera. The better lighting conditions and the better quality of the camera, the higher the profile. In good lighting conditions, the video encoder will provide better quality (higher resolution or frame rate) for a given call rate. Generally, the Normal or Medium profiles are recommended. However, when the lighting conditions are very good, the High profile can be set in order to increase the resolution for a given call rate.Some typical resolutions used for different optimal definition profiles, call rates and transmit frame rates are shown in the table below. The resolution must be supported by both the calling and called systems. Use the Video Input Source OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps setting to decide when to use the 60 fps frame rate.

.


Value space: <Normal/Medium/High>Normal: Use this profile for a normally to poorly lit environment. Resolutions will be set rather conservative.Medium: Requires good and stable lighting conditions and a good quality video input. For some call rates this leads to higher resolution.High: Requires nearly optimal video conferencing lighting conditions and a good quality video input in order to achieve a good overall experience. Rather high resolutions will be used.

Example: Video Input Connector 1 OptimalDefinition Profile: Medium

Video Input Connector [1..5] OptimalDefinition Threshold60fpsFor each video input, this setting tells the system the lowest resolution where it should transmit 60fps. So for all resolutions lower than this, the maximum transmitted frame rate would be 30fps, while above this resolution 60fps would also be possible, if the available bandwidth is adequate.


Value space: <512_288/768_448/1024_576/1280_720/1920_1080/Never>512_288: Set the threshold to 512x288.768_448: Set the threshold to 768x448.1024_576: Set the threshold to 1024x576.1280_720: Set the threshold to 1280x720.1920_1080: Set the threshold to 1920x1080.Never: Do not set a threshold for transmitting 60fps.

Example: Video Input Connector 1 OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps: 1280 _ 720

Video Input Connector [1..4] PresentationSelectionDefine how the video system will behave when a presentation source is connected to the video input. Note that sharing the presentation with the far end always requires additional action (press Share on the user interface).


Value space: Connector 1: <Manual> Connector 2: <Manual/Automatic/OnConnect> for single camera systems, and <Manual> for dual camera systems Other connectors: <Manual/Automatic/OnConnect>

Manual: In manual mode, the contents of the video input will not be presented on the screen until you choose it from the user interface. Automatic: In automatic mode, the contents on the video input will be presented on screen automatically. If more than one source is set to Automatic, the last connected source will be used. If any content is active (presented) when a call is disconnected, the content will still be displayed locally.OnConnect: When in on-connect mode, the content on the video input will be presented on screen when a cable is connected. Otherwise, the behavior is the same as in manual mode.

Video Input Connector [1..4] RGBQuantizationRangeThe devices connected to the video input should follow the rules for RGB video quantization range defined in CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this configuration may be used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any source. The default value is set to Full because most sources expects full quantization range.


Value space: <Auto/Full/Limited>Auto: RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on video format according to CEA-861-E. CE video formats will use limited quantization range levels. IT video formats will use full quantization range levels.Full: Full quantization range. The R, G, B quantization range includes all code values (0 - 255). This is defined in CEA-861-E.Limited: Limited Quantization Range. R, G, B quantization range that excludes some code values at the extremes (16 - 235). This is defined in CEA-861-E.

Example: Video Input Connector 1 RGBQuantizationRange: Auto

Video Input Connector [4] DviTypeThe official DVI standard supports both digital and analog signals. In most cases the default AutoDetect setting can detect whether the signal is analog RGB or digital. However, in some rare cases when DVI-I cables are used (these cables can carry both the analog and digital signals) the auto detection fails. This setting makes it possible to override the AutoDetect and select the correct DVI video input.


Value space: <AutoDetect/Digital/AnalogRGB/AnalogYPbPr>AutoDetect: Set to AutoDetect to automatically detect if the signal is analog RGB or digital. Digital: Set to Digital to force the DVI video input to Digital when using DVI-I cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails. AnalogRGB: Set to AnalogRGB to force the DVI video input to AnalogRGB when using DVI-I cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails. AnalogYPbPr: Set to AnalogYPbPr to force the DVI video input to AnalogYPbPr, as the component (YPbPr) signal cannot be auto detected.

Example: Video Input Connector 4 DviType: AutoDetect

Video Input Connector [5] SignalTypeConnector 5 can be used for either S-Video or Composite video input format. Use this setting to configure which video format the BNC connector(s) are used for.


Value space: <Composite/YC>Composite: Connector 5 is configured for composite video input. Only the BNC connector that is labeled "Y" is used.YC: Connector 5 is configured for S-Video input. Both BNC connectors ("Y" and "C") are used.

Example: Video Input Connector 5 SignalType: Composite

Video Layout ScalingDefine how the system shall adjust the aspect ratio for images or frames when there is a difference between the image and the frame it is to be placed in.


Value space: <Off/On>Off: No adjustment of the aspect ratio.On: Let the system automatically adjust aspect ratio.

Example: Video Layout Scaling: On



Video Layout ScaleToFrameDefine what to do if the aspect ratio of a video input source doesn't match the aspect ratio of the corresponding image frame in a composition. For example if you have a 4:3 input source (like XGA) to be displayed on a 16:9 output (like HD720).


Value space: <Manual/MaintainAspectRatio/StretchToFit>Manual: If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold setting (in percent), the image is stretched to fit. If not, the system will maintain the original aspect ratio.MaintainAspectRatio: Maintain the aspect ratio of the input source, and fill in black in the rest of the frame (letter boxing or pillar boxing).StretchToFit: Stretch (horizontally or vertically) the input source to fit into the image frame. NOTE: The general limitation is that you cannot upscale in one direction and at the same time downscale in the other direction. In such situations the codec will apply letterboxing.

Example: Video Layout ScaleToFrame: MaintainAspectRatio

Video Layout ScaleToFrameThresholdOnly applicable if the Video Layout ScaleToFrame setting is set to manual. If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the ScaleToFrameThreshold setting (in percent), the image is stretched to fit. If not, the system will maintain the original aspect ratio.


Value space: <0..100>Range: Select a value from 0 to 100 percent.

Example: Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold: 5

Video Output Connector [1..3] Location HorizontalOffsetHorizontalOffset and VerticalOffset settings are associated with each video output. These settings are used to signal the relative position of the displays that are connected to these outputs.HorizontalOffset = 0 and VerticalOffset = 0 indicates that the display is positioned in center, both horizontally and vertically. A negative horizontal offset indicates that the monitor is left of center, and a positive horizontal offset indicates that the monitor is right of center. A negative vertical offset indicates that the monitor is below center, and a positive vertical offset indicates that the monitor is above center. The magnitude of the offset indicates how far the display is from center (relative to other displays).Example: You have three displays side by side, with the left and right displays at equal distance from center. Then the following settings will apply: HorizontalOffset = 0 for the center display, HorizontalOffset = -1 for the left display, and HorizontalOffset = 1 for the right display. Example: You have two displays, one in center and one below. Then the following settings will apply: VerticalOffset = 0 for the center display, Vertical Offset = -1 for the lower display. The default values for the different outputs are: Video Output Connector [1] Location: HorizontalOffset = -1, VerticalOffset = 0Video Output Connector [2] Location: HorizontalOffset = 0, VerticalOffset = 0Video Output Connector [3] Location: HorizontalOffset = 1, VerticalOffset = 0

1. Sign in to the web interface with your user name and current password.

2. Click your user name in the upper right corner and choose Change password in the drop down menu.

3. Enter the Current password, the New password, and repeat the new password in the appropriate input fields.

The password format is a string with 0–64 characters.

4. Click Change password.

Changing another user’s system passwordIf you have administrator access rights, you can change all users’ passwords by performing the following steps:

1. Sign in to the web interface with your user name and password.

2. Go to the Configuration tab and select User Administration.

3. Choose the appropriate user from the list.

4. Enter a new password and PIN code.

5. Click Save.

Setting the system passwordThe system password protects the video system. You have to sign in to be able to use the web interface, and to get access to the Administrator settings from the Touch controller.

The admin user

The video system is delivered with a default user account with full credentials. The user name is admin, and initially, no password is set for the default user.

It is mandatory to set a password for the admin user in order to restrict access to system configuration. Also set a password for any other user with similar credentials.

Make sure to keep a copy of the password in a safe place. You have to factory reset the unit if you have forgotten the password.

A warning, saying that the system password is not set, is shown on screen until a password is set for the admin user.

Other user accounts

You can create as many user accounts as you like for your video system.

You can read more about how to create and manage user accounts in the ► User administration section.



Appendices



Cisco VCS provisioningWhen using Cisco VCS (Video Communication Server)provisioning, a template containing all the settings that can be provisioned must be uploaded to Cisco TMS (TelePresence Management System). This is called the Cisco TMS provisioning configuration template.

All the system settings for your video system are included in this template. All settings except SystemUnit Name and SIP Profile [1..1] URI can be automatically provisioned to the video system.

The settings are described in the ► System settings chapter in this guide. Examples showing either the default value or an example value are included.

Downloading the provisioning configuration templateYou can download the templates here:

► http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/collaboration-endpoints/telepresence-mx-series/products-release-notes-list.html

For each software release there is one provisioning configuration template (XML file) for each video system model. Take care to use the correct file.

Read the Cisco TMS Provisioning Deployment Guide to find how to upload the file to Cisco TMS, and how to set the desired values for the parameters to be provisioned. If not set by Cisco TMS, the default values will be used.

2. Define how to use the external monitor

Use the Video > Monitors setting to define what to display on the external monitor.

Choose TriplePresentationOnly to allow presentations on the external monitor.

If the setting is kept at Dual (default), all participants and content will be distributed on the two integrated monitors, and nothing will be shown on the external monitor.

Do NOT use TriplePresentationOnly if no external monitor is connected. Presentations will fail to display.

3. Set the monitor resolution and refresh rate

The codec will read the native resolution of a monitor and output this if possible. Typically, this will give the best possible picture for the connected monitor.

If auto-detection of resolution and refresh rate fails, you have to set resolution manually using the Video > Output > Connector 3 > Resolution setting.

Connecting an external monitor to MX700

1. Connect an external monitor

i. Switch off the system.

The power button is located directly below the codec connector panel.

ii. Connect the monitor as shown in the illustration.

Use Connector 3 (DVI-I) for video and an Audio Line output for audio.

iii. Switch on the system, and wait while the system starts up.

An external monitor can be used to display content or presentations (presented locally or received from far-end).

The codec and monitor must be connected and set up as described below.

For a full description of each settings, refer to the ► System settings chapter.

You must remove the video system’s left side cover to get access to the codec connector panel. The cover is fastened with magnets.

3. Set the monitor resolution and refresh rate

The codec will read the native resolution of a monitor and output this if possible. Typically, this will give the best possible picture for the connected monitor.

If auto-detection of resolution and refresh rate fails, you have to set resolution manually using the Video > Output > Connector 2 > Resolution and Video > Output > Connector 3 > Resolution settings.

2. Define how to use the external monitors

Use the Video > Monitors setting to define what to display on the external monitors.

Choose DualPresentationOnly to allow presentations on the external monitors.

If the setting is kept at Single (default), the same content (participants and presentation) is shown on both the integrated and the external monitors.

Do NOT use DualPresentationOnly if no external monitor is connected. Presentations will fail to display.

Connecting external monitors to MX800

1. Connect external monitors

i. Switch off the system.

The power button is located directly below the codec connector panel.

ii. Connect the monitors as shown in the illustration.

Use Connector 2 (HDMI); or use Connector 3 (DVI-I) for video and an Audio Line output for audio.

External monitors can be used to display content or presentations (presented locally or received from far-end). You can connect two external monitors to MX800. The same content will be displayed on both monitors.

The codec and monitor must be connected and set up as described below.

For a full description of each settings, refer to the ► System settings chapter.

You must remove the video system’s left side cover to get access to the codec connector panel. The cover is fastened with magnets.



MX700 and MX800 has several input connectors. The following inputs are available for additional content sources:

• Two HDMI inputs (video systems with a single camera) / One HDMI input (video systems with a dual camera)

• One DVI-I input• One S-video• One composite video

You can connect a computer to one of the video inputs in order to share content locally or with conference participants.Typically, a computer is connected to an HDMI or DVI-I input. To get audio when using DVI-I, the computer must also be connected to one of the codec’s Audio line inputs (Euroblock) *.

Note that the S-video and composite video inputs (BNC connectors) are disabled when using DVI-I.

You must remove the video system’s left side cover to get access to the codec connectors. The cover is fastened with magnets.

Video and content quality

Use the Video > Input > Connector n > Quality setting to optimize quality with respect to motion or sharpness.

Sharpness provides the best quality for detailed images and graphics, while Motion is best when there is a lot of motion in the picture. Typically, Sharpness is the best choice for computer content, while Motion is the best choice for video.

The default value is Motion for Connector 2; and Sharpness for Connector 3 and Connector 4.

Source type and source name

The default source type is Camera for Connector 2, and PC for Connector 3 and Connector 4.

Use the Video > Input > Connector n > InputSourceType and Video > Input > Connector n > Name settings if you want to modify the naming.

Optimal definition profilesUnder ideal lighting conditions the bandwidth (call rate) requirements can be substantially reduced.

The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting conditions in your room and the quality of the video input (camera); the better the lighting conditions and video input, the higher the profile. Then, in good lighting conditions, the video encoder will provide better quality (higher resolution or frame rate) for a given call rate.

In general, we recommend the optimal definition profile set to Normal. However, if lighting conditions are good we recommend that you test the endpoint on the various Optimal Definition Profile settings before deciding on a profile.

Go to System Configuration on the web interface and navigate to Video > Input > Connector n > OptimalDefinition > Profile to choose the preferred optimal definition profile.

You can set a resolution threshold to determine when to allow sending video at 60 fps. For all resolutions lower than this threshold, the maximum transmitted frame rate will be 30 fps; for higher resolutions, 60 fps will be possible if the available bandwidth is adequate.

Go to System Configuration on the web interface and navigate to Video > Input > Connector n > OptimalDefinition > Threshold60fps to set the threshold.

The video input quality settings must be set to Motion for the optimal definition settings to take any effect. With the video input quality set to Sharpness, the endpoint will transmit the highest resolution possible, regardless of frame rate.

Go to System Configuration on the web interface and navigate to Video > Input > Connector n > Quality to set the video quality parameter to Motion.

You can read more about the video settings in the ► System settings chapter.

High

Typically used in dedicated video conferencing rooms. Requires very good lighting conditions and a good quality video input to achieve a good overall experience.

Under ideal conditions the bandwidth requirements can be reduced by up to 50% compared to Normal.

Medium

Typically used in rooms with good and stable lighting conditions and a good quality video input.

The bandwidth requirements can be reduced by up to 25% compared to Normal.

Normal

This setting is typically used in office environments where the room is normally to poorly lit.

* H.265 is preferred over H.264, and the maximum bit rate for H.265 is 3 Mbps. When the user sets a higher bit rate, the codec will still use H.265 at 3 Mbps as long as all codecs involved supports H.265.



ClearPath — Packet loss resilienceClearPath introduces advanced packet loss resilience mechanisms that increase the experienced quality when you use your video system in an error prone environment.

We recommend that you keep ClearPath enabled on your video system.

Go to the System Configuration page (web interface):

• Navigate to Conference 1 > PacketLossResilience > Mode

Choose Off to disable ClearPath and On to enable ClearPath.



Factory resetting the system

If there is a severe problem with the video system, the last resort may be to reset it to its default factory settings.

Always consider reverting to the previously used software version before performing a factory reset. In many situations this will recover the system. Note that both the current and the previous software images reside on the system. Read about software swapping in the ► Reverting to the previously used software version section.

We recommend that you use either a Touch controller or the web interface to factory reset the system. If these interfaces are not available, you can use the video system’s power button.

When factory resetting the video system the following happens:

• The call logs will be deleted.• Passwords will be reset to default.• All system parameters will be reset to default values. • All files that have been uploaded to the system will be

deleted. This includes, but is not limited to, custom backgrounds, certificates, and the favorites list (My contacts).

• The previous (inactive) software image will be deleted.• Release keys and option keys will not be affected.

The system restarts automatically after the reset. It is using the same software image as before.

User interface: Touch

1. Tap gently on the Touch screen if the unit is in sleep mode.

2. Open the Settings* menu and navigate to Administrator > Reset. You have to log in with an administrator user name and password to access the Administrator menu.

3. Tap the Factory Reset button.

The system reverts to the default factory settings and restarts automatically. This will take a few minutes.

The system confirms the factory reset by displaying a notification on the main screen when up and running again. The notification disappears after approximately 10 seconds.

Using the reset button

1. Remove the video system’s left side cover to get access to the codec connector panel.

The cover snaps to magnets.

Reset button (pin hole)

User interface: Web

Open the Settings* menu on the Touch controller and tap System Information to find the system’s IP address (IPv4 or IPv6).

1. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the video system in the address bar.

2. Navigate to Maintenance > System Recovery and choose the Factory Reset tab.

3. Read the provided information carefully before you click Perform a factory reset....

4. Click the red Yes button to confirm that you want to perform a factory reset.




You should always backup the log files and the current configuration before you factory reset a system. Open the web interface, sign in, and follow these steps:

• Navigate to Maintenance > System Recovery and choose the Backup tab.

• Click Download Logs and Download Configuration Backup and follow the instructions to save the files on your computer.


2. Use the tip of a pen (or similar) to press and hold the recessed reset button until the screen turns black (approximately 10 seconds). Then release the button.





Factory resetting Touch 10

1. Locate the Mute and Volume down buttons.

2. Press and hold the Mute button until it starts blinking (red and green). It takes approximately 10 seconds.

3. Press the Volume down button twice.

Touch 10 automatically reverts to the default factory settings and restarts.
